Just as Chu Feng was happily daydreaming about a bright future, in a dark corner somewhere, a member of the Dragon Phoenix Guard was staring intently at him. After repeatedly confirming, his eyes widened as he quickly pulled out a portrait from his robe and compared it over and over.
Ninety percent similar!
There was no mistake. This was the one Her Majesty was looking for!
The next moment, the figure of the Dragon Phoenix Guard vanished into the darkness.
Bai Yuyan’s gaze swept toward a certain corner, and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. The Dragon Phoenix Guard…
It seemed that it wouldn’t be long before Ji Yuhuang learned of her junior brother’s whereabouts.
However, Bai Yuyan figured she wouldn’t dare to show up openly. Not only because of the many watching eyes, but also because the officials would never agree to it.
As for whether she’d come in secret… if it were that seductive fox from the fox clan, that Bai Yuyan found more likely.
Chu Feng hadn’t noticed the distance growing between himself and Senior Sister Yuyan. At the moment, he was too busy curiously admiring the surrounding architecture, which was completely different from that of the Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect.
As expected of a world of cultivation, the buildings were not only tall but wildly imaginative, yet sturdy enough to never collapse.
The Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect buildings had a clean, minimalist style, while the imperial capital was majestic, towering, and grand in every sense.
The very first glimpse of the capital left one utterly awestruck.
On the other side, not far from Chu Feng, a lively young girl was surrounded by a group of male disciples.
“Junior Sister Yiyi, are these… really gifts from you?!”
“Of course! Thank you all for looking after me along the way. I’m truly grateful! I stayed up all night making these gifts by hand!”
“Junior Sister Yiyi, you… you’re practically a fairy!”
“What are you talking about! Junior Sister Yiyi is a fairy!”
Xue Yiyi had a delicate, beautiful face and an energetic demeanor. Combined with her slightly petite frame, she perfectly embodied the image of the sweet girl next door.
She was especially well-liked by the senior brothers. She was arguably the most popular among the new female disciples.
As they chatted and laughed, Xue Yiyi’s gaze briefly swept past Lin Ruo in the distance. That guy is way too arrogant. He wasn’t someone easy to get along with. But…
Her eyes then landed on Chu Feng, and a playful glint flashed within them.
According to recent rumors, this man was the disciple of the Moonlight Sword Fairy. And it was said that when he first joined, he had no cultivation whatsoever…. yet now, in such a short span of time, he was already on the verge of breaking into Second Rank!
A monster-level talent indeed. No wonder the Moonlight Sword Fairy took him as a disciple.
But even so…
He won’t escape from the palm of my hand!
Lin Ruo was hard to get close to, but this Chu Feng, with that slightly clueless look of his, might just start blushing and getting flustered if she went over and exchanged a few words with him.
Casually, Xue Yiyi stealthily dropped a scented pouch on the ground. Judging by Chu Feng’s walking path, he was bound to pick it up.
As Chu Feng was walking, he suddenly felt something underfoot.
“Hmm? What’s this?”
Lifting his foot, he spotted a small pouch. He picked it up and noticed a faint fragrance coming from it…. was it a sachet?
While examining the sachet in his hand, a startled voice suddenly rang out from ahead.
“Ah! Yiyi’s sachet is missing!”
Xue Yiyi frantically patted herself down, checking everywhere as her eyes began to tear up.
“That sachet… it was sewn by my mother herself. If I lose it…”
As she spoke, tears began rolling down her cheeks.
Seeing Xue Yiyi looking so pitiful, the surrounding senior brothers were instantly distressed.
“Don’t worry, Junior Sister Yiyi! We’ll help you search properly!”
“Yes, yes! We’re bound to find it!”
After hearing their reassurances, Xue Yiyi wiped away her tears and gave them a bright smile.
“Thank you so much, Senior Brothers. Yiyi is truly grateful….ah! Isn’t that Yiyi’s sachet?!”
As she spoke, Xue Yiyi pointed in a certain direction, and all the senior brothers immediately turned to look.
Wha… what’s going on?
Chu Feng froze on the spot. He had just picked up the sachet out of curiosity and hadn’t even looked at it for long. So why were all these people suddenly staring at him?
The next moment, Chu Feng saw the girl who had been surrounded by all those guys running toward him.
“Wow! Thank you so much for finding Yiyi’s sachet, big brother~ You’re such a good person!”
Xue Yiyi deliberately softened and pitched her voice as she spoke.
Uh…
Ding! You’ve received a Good Guy Card!
Chu Feng was left dumbfounded, having been handed a Good Guy Card out of nowhere. Also….miss, could you please not use that squeaky voice when you talk?
“No problem. Since it’s yours, here you go.”
“Thank you~”
Xue Yiyi took the sachet with a delighted smile and dimples appeared on her cheeks.
The sight left the surrounding senior brothers completely dazed.
Chu Feng scratched his head awkwardly. “Um… if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”
Looking at the girl in front of him, Chu Feng finally remembered. Liu Zhitong had once shown him a photobook of this very girl. Back then, he had thought she gave off a subtle faint scent of tea. But seeing her now… yep! The tea is very strong.
With girls like this, Chu Feng figured it was best to keep his distance.
“Wait a moment!” Xue Yiyi twisted her body slightly and peeked up at Chu Feng with a sweet, delicate voice. “You picked up Yiyi’s sachet, big brother. I haven’t even thought about how I should thank you yet~”
Hearing that, Chu Feng suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Repay him?
Chu Feng gave Xue Yiyi a quick once-over, especially letting his gaze linger for a moment on her chest. In the end, he could only think: Sorry, not interested in an A-cup.
“No, no need. Miss, just make sure to keep your sachet safe from now on.”
“That won’t do! Yiyi simply must…”
Xue Yiyi saw that Chu Feng was trying to leave and naturally couldn’t just let him go. Just as she was about to reach out and grab his sleeve, she felt a cold, piercing gaze lock onto her.
In an instant, Xue Yiyi’s pupils contracted….she felt as if she had plunged into an icy abyss.
Turning her head, she saw a tall senior sister standing there, staring at her with frosty eyes.
“Junior sister, you must what exactly?”
Bai Yuyan walked over to Chu Feng’s side. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the girl in front of her.
Seriously, she had only been away from her junior brother for a little while, and already some fox-like girl was trying to cozy up to him. Still, with such a youthful vibe, she didn’t pose much of a threat. But a little warning was in order.
If that naïve little fruit ever ripened… and lost its innocence… then she’d be a real threat.
“Senior Sister Yuyan!”
Seeing Bai Yuyan, Chu Feng was overjoyed. He’d been racking his brain on how to shake off Xue Yiyi. Girls with that “tea” energy? Definitely not his cup of tea.
***
Watching Xue Yiyi’s retreating figure, Chu Feng let out a sigh of relief and silently prayed they’d never cross paths again.
“Junior Brother!”
Bai Yuyan suddenly raised her voice slightly, puffing out her cheeks just a little. That small gesture, from someone usually so cool and elegant, actually made her seem a bit cute.
“Ah! Yes!”
For some reason, Chu Feng was suddenly reminded of the fear one feels when their wife calls them by their full name.
Wait a moment! He’s never had a wife before!
Cough, cough! Two-dimensional waifus don’t count!
As for his relationship with Senior Sister Yuyan right now….well, it was somewhere between friends and lovers.
The confession. Well, technically, she was the one who confessed. And yes, they had kissed. That was a fact.
Chu Feng wasn’t the kind of scumbag who messes around and walks away. He was a true warrior of pure love!
It’s just that… his love was a little more evenly distributed, that’s all. He just wanted to give all of them a warm and happy home. There’s nothing wrong with that!
